Still maintain Ramsey has high a ceiling as anyone. These 2 could terrorise defences for years to come in claret and blue and cannot wait to see it #AVFC

Finishing is the only bit that let's him down at times. If he can improve that he would be a complete player imo. Same with Rogers tbf.

Ramseys finishing is abysmal. Moreso the fact he openly admits his left foot isn't his strongest.. and yet face with a 1 v1 he decides to hit the ball with his left foot.

alanwrightsbarber.bsky.social•95 days ago

it really isn't abysmal. Deffo should have had more goals last week but he is still building himself back up with run of games and would fully expect him to score those chances more often than not. Saying he is abysmal at finishing is just silly

mtjnr.bsky.social•95 days ago

Yeah too strong a word but certainly an area for improvement.

alanwrightsbarber.bsky.social•94 days ago

Absolutely and think he'd be first to say that. More than has it in him to hit double figures from that position though. He is a class player. Hoping likes of Asensio help raise his levels too

He tends to hesitate and then panic. Shouldn't be a difficult thing to work on. The main instruction for Ipswich will surely be for forwards to look up and see if they have someone square as there was at every missed shot against spurs.

villafandan.bsky.social•95 days ago

Yeah spot on. But still. If you know you're not strong on your left. Why do you keep hitting the ball with it.🤣

mtjnr.bsky.social•95 days ago

No idea lol I don't think he is weak in that foot though, he just panicked. It happens to thr best of them. It's odd how little you see players sitting keepers down or taking it round them these days. Often tend to just panic and hit it straight at them. Well ours do anyway.

mtjnr.bsky.social•95 days ago

One observation of the Spurs game was the number of chances we had where forwards were shooting when they had a team mate square with an easier finish whereas recently it's been the opposite where I've felt we were scared to shoot. Maybe overcorrected slightly?
